SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HEAD-TO-HEAD POLYISOBUTYLENE AND RELATED POLYMERS

Head-to-head (H-H) polyisobutylene was prepared by a Grignard/alkylbromide coupling polymerization using 2,2,3,3-tetramethyl-1,4-dibromobutane as the monomer. The coupling polymerization was carried out at -5 to -10(DEGREES)C in a mixture of benzene and tetrahydrofuran solvent using copper (I) salts...
